Answer:
E. The moral principles of the Bible are diametrically opposed to slavery.
Explanation:
Samuel Sewall was a Massachusetts judge, best known for his involvement in the Salem witch trial for which he later apologized, and his essay The Selling of Joseph, which criticized slavery.
Although inexpressive, one of the earliest manifestations contrary to the known slave system, it appeared in America when it was still a British colony through the writings of the puritan Samuel Sewall. In his anti-slavery pamphlet, "The Selling of Joseph," published in Boston in the year 1700, Sewall cites passages from the Bible to condemn trade and slave practice. However, in spite of his daring, in offering evidence of these evils he threw aside segregationist and racist thoughts, highlighting the prejudices of his day.
